[intro]
midnight special

[chorus]
well, let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

[verse 1]
yonder come, miss rosie
how in the world do you know?
well, i know her by her apr*n
and the dress she swore
umbrella on her shoulder
piece of paper in her hand
well, she gonna see the governor
just to release her man

[chorus] 00:40
let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

[verse 2]
when you get up in the morning
and the big bell ring
go marching to the table
find the same old thing
no forks on the table
ain’t nothin’ in your pan
if you say anything about it
you’ll have trouble with the man
[chorus]
let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

[verse 3]
if you ever go to houston
boys, you better walk right
well, you better not squabble
and you better not fight
that cop will arrest you
he’ll sure take you down
you can bet your bottom dollar
you jailhouse bound

[chorus]
let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

[verse 4]
when you get up in the morning
and the ding dong ring
you go marching to the table
find the same old thing
flapjacks and molasses
and that side belly fat
if you say anything about it
well, you won’t get that
[chorus]
let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

[verse 5]
i was standing at the station
when my baby got on board
i was standing there beggin’
baby, please don’t go
when that train was leavin’
miss rosie inside
i couldn’t do nothin’
hang my head and cry

[chorus]
let the midnight special
shine her light on me
let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me

let the midnight special
shine her light on me
well, let the midnight special
shine her ever lovin’ light on me
